About This Home

As of June 2023

A Classic Doylestown Boro property you don’t want to miss! A true center hall Colonial built in 1929, the home has a charming Oscar Martin feel with a comfortable and flowing floor plan. The home boasts approximately 4100 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, 3 and a half baths and many original built-ins and custom millwork.
Upon entering the vestibule, you’ll observe the quiet elegance of the home, the gracious room sizes, and abundance of natural light.
The main floor offers a living room with a stunning wood-burning fireplace depicting the story of the Arkansas Traveler; the last tile installation done by the renowned Henry Mercer. Just off the living room through original French doors is a cozy office, surrounded by windows with built-in bookshelves below and an original Mercer tile mosaic. The dining room is Thanksgiving spacious, with original built-in corner cupboards, chair rails and a quaint French pocket door leading to the family room. The Superior Woodcraft gourmet kitchen features a large center island with stools, abundant cabinetry, granite counters, and a farm sink with large windows overlooking the backyard. Wolf appliances include a 6-burner gas stove, 2 convection ovens (one steam), with warming drawers below. A Miele dishwasher and Subzero refrigerator complete the appliance package. There’s plenty of storage, including a butler's pantry ideally located between the kitchen and living room for ease of entertaining. The family room and eat-in area just off the kitchen are surrounded by windows with built-in bookshelves below. A gas Mercer tile fireplace and coffered ceiling makes the adjoining den/TV area cozy. A back enclosed porch/mud room leads to a fabulous backyard entertaining area and a detached garage. The retro half bath is original to the house. A tucked-away screened porch provides a delightful covered outdoor space to relax and take in the gardens.
The second floor has a primary bedroom showcasing a beautiful built-in bureau, all tile en suite bath with whirlpool tub, shower, two sinks, a dressing area and walk-in closet. A second bedroom has a lovely and versatile sitting room surrounded by windows and built-in bookshelves, which could serve as an office, yoga/exercise room, playroom, or just a place to relax.
A third bedroom is graciously sized and filled with natural light. A lovely reading nook compliments the hallway.
The third floor is a beautiful 4th Bedroom, with skylights, a large walk-in closet and a bath with a tiled shower and a marble floor.
A finished lower level with windows and a door to the backyard includes a den, exercise/game area, a bright laundry room with plenty of built-in cupboards, plus separate storage areas and a shop/utility room.
Outside you’ll find an extension of living space to carry you through most seasons! A blue stone & brick patio offers multiple entertaining and dining spots. An outdoor kitchen, with a direct line gas grill, 2-burner cooktop, small refrigerator and prep/serving area on soapstone counter allows for entertaining in style! The oversized lot affords unparalleled privacy for a Boro home and offers a spacious yard that’s partially fenced, professionally landscaped and includes a two car detached garage. Located within two blocks of the heart of Doylestown Boro, this beauty is just far enough to be out of the hustle and bustle but within walking distance to everything you want in iconic Doylestown…Restaurant Row, County Theater, Michener Art Museum, Court House, Library, award winning Central Bucks schools, parks and shopping. This one-of-a-kind property is well designed, impeccably maintained and available for the first time in over 30 years.
